The Schedule referred to in these Lettera P atent `and making part of the, same.

To all whom it ma/y concern Be it known thatI, GEORGE HARRISON, of New York, in the` county of New York, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pen-Holders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,

vwhich will-enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being -had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved device for discharging or removing metallic pens from their holders after they have become useless; and Y It consists in a sliding `tube' connected with the barl rel of the holder, confined by and operating in slots in the barrel, provided with projecting lips or ears,` as

'hereinafter described. w `In the' accompanying sheet o f drawingsi Figure l represents a longitudinal section of apenholder, provided with my pen-discharger, and seen as Figure 2 is a view of the same, with the sideof the barrel broken away, so as to show the discharger.

Similar letters of Areference indicate corresponding parts. k w y f A represents the barrel of the holder.

'B is the discharger. l f The peu is seen in red color.

. All who have used steel or other metallicpens have experienced the diiiculty of j removing them from the `holder"`after they have become useless from wear` or corrosion. There is no method at present of removing them but pulling them out, frequently requiring a great effort, always soiling the fingers in the operation, and

c not unfrequently the pen is broken oi in thelholder,

`thus rendering the latter useless. l Y

My discharger is a perfect remedy for all these evils. It forms in itself a portion of the holder, the pen being slipped in between it and the barrel. l

The `discharging-tubc is slit lengthwise, and a por- 'tion of the metal is removed, leaving a slot its Whole length, so that it may accommodate itself` to the expansion and contraction ofthe barrel in inserting and discharging peus.

The barrel has a longitudinal sloton its top, seen at c, and another on its side, seen at b; the former slot runs out at the end of the barrel, the latter does not,`

but forms a stop for the dischargelyto prevent its sliding from the barrel. For each of these slots, the discharger has `a projecting lip, they being a portion of` the discharging-tube, turned at right angles with the tube. f

` The lip in the slot on the top of the holder is seen at f, the other is seen at g. The former lip f is a stop for the pen, the latter is for sliding the discharger in removing the pen, and also a stop for the discharger. C

The upper lip would answer for both purposes, but the side lip g is considered more convenient for operating.

the discharger, and is necessary as a stop.

The pen is inserted between the discharger and the barrel, and up to or near the lip f, asseen in g. 2.

In shoving the discharger forward, it will be seen that the pen will he shoved forward by"the lip f, and instantly removed. The advantages of this arrangement will be readily understood and appreciated by all.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters"V Patent- Discharging the pen from the barrel A by means of the lips f g, upon the divided discharge-tube B, work` ing within the slots C b of the barrel A, all the parts being constructed and arranged as herein shown and The above speciiication of 4my invention signed by me, this 19th Vday of J auuary, 1869.
